Hardware list: CPU Intel Celeron 300A, MB chipset Intel i440LX, 384 MiB
RAM, graphic adaptor S3 Trio AGP, monitor Dell E551 (CRT, analogue D-Sub
connection). Distribution: Lubuntu 10.04 i386, min. desktop CD.
I installed on an obsolete computer. After some initial options I lost
the screen suddenly and the monitor diodes indicated an error - I reckon
the installer switched display modes from text to graphical. I tried a
more capable Sony 15" CRT monitor but it was damaged instantly. An LG
E2350V-WN LCD monitor noted the display mode was 1024x768 px, 80 Hz
vertical frequency, ie. the vertical frequency was too high for most of
the old 15" CRT monitors and for the LG E2350V as well. As I was unable
to continue, I relaunched the installation, this time with the LG E2350V
connected (D-Sub) from the start, and everything was OK.
I think if the installer cannot detect the monitor safely, it should use
the smallest graphical resolution possible and the vertical frequency of
60 Hz, which any monitor should be able to handle somehow.
Being a bit confused by the list of Lubuntu projects in Launchpad, I
appologize in case I am misreporting.
